Plot

Suzume Yosano (Mei Nagano) is a first grade high school student. She lived in the countryside, but, due to her parents transferring overseas for work, Suzume now lives in Tokyo with her uncle (Ryuta Sato). Suzume has never had a boyfriend before, but she has feelings for her homeroom teacher Satsuki Shishio (Shohei Miura). Meanwhile, her classmate, Daiki Mamura (Aran Shirahama), becomes attracted to Suzume.

Notes

Based on the manga series "Hirunaka no Ryuusei" by Mika Yamamori (published from May 20, 2011 to November 5, 2014 in Japanese shojo manga magazine Margaret).

if this sakaguchi kentaro played mamura's role.. oh my gad.. i wouldnt know who to choose. im definitely all for sensei in the manga but if this guy played mamura, i wouldnt know who to choose urgh!
but since he didnt, then i wouldnt have to choose! Sensei forever! manga and movie! Shohei saranghae! daisuki!

annafaceMar 24 2017 11:42 pm
shohei. shohei. i really really really need to watch this right nooow! if only i could just ride the airplane to japan just to watch this hahaha.
Im so glad that Shohei Miura played Satsuki sensei's role. Im all for sensei! If he played mamura's role urgh. That would suck! I'll have no choice but to accept that Mamura is hotter than sensei (in the movie only). But since that isnt tru in the manga, well, it shouldnt be true in the movie too. hahaha
Sensei is hotter. Shohei is hotter! go sensei!

Mahnn, this is a must watch movie!! ???? i really love the manga and i wish it would be adapted to anime uwaaaaa but thts okay, bcs im pretty sure id love the live-action more!! But itd have been better if mamura's role was filled w sakaguchi kentaro instead of THAT guy lolols bcs he suits mamura's characters better

But that's the thing. While Shishio might have been the first love interest, I didn't consider him the main male lead. If anything, Mamaru was the main male lead/main love interest, but Suzume fell for him second. Considering how he was there for her all those times, it's not surprising she ended up with him. I just hope this movie does the manga justice.

Sakaguchi Kentaro is my favorite Japanese actor ever and I would've been haply to seen him in this manga live action. But as much as I love him, I honestly love how this other actor got casted as mamura. It suits him in some way and surprisingly, I'm not disappointed! Look forward to seeing it

MIKANFeb 16 2017 12:39 am
Mamura's face is so squared...arghhh already lost the appeal..why whyyyy and I was rooting for him in the manga

MiiiruFeb 13 2017 7:21 pm
I absolutely have no idea what anyone means when they say the casting is all wrong. I am very pleased with what I see so far. Yes, Sakaguchi Kentaro would of fit the role of Mamura, but I've seen Shirahama Aran kill some roles before. He can certainly do this one as well, living up to the Manga character.

The female lead was great in Koe Koi drama and My Love Story movie. She'll live up to Suzume.

If sakaguchi kentaro who play mamura i will support him as yosano boyfriend but since he's not i will support sishio << TOTALLY AGREE WITH THIS!

fryelneisJan 31 2017 9:52 am
I hope sakaguchi kentaro who play mamura >.<
I really love the manga ❤ and the shoujo manga that i know the lead female (suzume) end up with 2nd lead male (mamura).
Well, i'm really happy the lead female end up with 2nd lead male because i'm support mamura-kun than shisio sensei ?
(Sorry for my english is bad)

I'm like everyone else here. Though I shall watch the movie because I'm in love with the manga for since it began. But I agree! During casting call....WHY?!?!
Sakaguchi Kentaro is the reason why Daiki was made, so it would make sense that you have him as Daiki. I'm very sorry to Shirahama, but I don't agree with his role as Mamura Daiki. It would have been better to cast Sakaguchi.
In my opinion, He has starred a lot of films and his expressions to the situations in HnR would be more suitable.
Very sorry Shirahama, but I would have preferred Sakaguchi

just passin'Jan 09 2017 7:46 am
I love the manga. But I would say I can't let this movie ruin my liking towards the manga, so I will not watch it. I imagined somebody else could play the character of Mamura-kun. It's just my perspective. ?The actor playing Satsuki's character matches the one in the manga. He's the real human counterpart of Satsuki!

kimiejimDec 30 2016 9:09 pm
OMG YES!!!!! I can't wait!! Although I know they won't be able to create scenes where Mei does those T_T faces but I am super excited. Although I am a little disappointed at the casting, I do hope they prove me wrong. And reading the comments about how Mamura was based on Kentaro T______T That would have been amazing. #TEAMMAMURA!

WynnstelleDec 14 2016 10:12 am
Uwaa~ so excited~ but I was expecting sakaguchi kentaro to play live action mamura cause afterall mamura is based on him ?? and well they do look alike. But shirahama seems good well I wish for the best! Please don't let me down ??

iLyDec 10 2016 8:52 am
well... I like the manga, but I think the live action wouldn't be so interesting. the actor who role as Mamura don't seem to blushing enough (lol) and don't seem alike him.

but as I thought from Miura-san, it's suit as a Shishio-sensei. but I imagine him as Mamura as well, and it's somehow suit too... I would like to see him as Mamura instead Shirahama-san.

---

yeah, well... when I read the manga, I realized that there's better end up crush on someone in same age than older age and would be ended up in trouble (lol).

the ending is not related with the title, though. (lol)

JamDec 08 2016 7:11 pm
I might go for Shishio because of the movie~ I'm so excited for this! Shohei as a sensei is <3

chojunsDec 07 2016 5:43 am
reason to watch: shishio sensei #teamshizume #teamshishio and also great manga to be live-action. tho, i was hoping for kentaro to play as mamura, but yeah it's okay. hope it'll turn to be a good movie!

kireyDec 07 2016 5:36 am
Huaaaa i miss kentaro sakaguxhi who can potray mamura best..bc he was the inspiration of mamuras character.the mangaka said that

AyaDec 07 2016 3:43 am
Although i didn't like the cast, but just watching the trailer then I thought "Wow, Alan looks promising, not bad as Mamura". I hope this movie never disappointed the fans of the manga hirunaka no ryuusei. Fighting!!!

lemon84Nov 07 2016 4:27 am
why i didn't see any resemblance between that actor who play mamura and mamura himself in the manga world? WHY???? as much as love sensei.. but i really really like daiki u know!! so i really really want this manga to turn into movie.. but seriously? what with that guy who play mamura? huh..!!

DissapointedOct 27 2016 11:47 pm
The very reason why everyone is dissapointed with the casting especially Mamura because ALL FANS of this Manga knows that MAMURA is KENTARO. The inspiration of the character itself! I even first saw Kentaro is one of the Volumes of the Manga...and loved him ever since!

That's why everyone is angy....so am I. Gonna skip it.

Felt so bad for this guy playing Mamura...

Sorry... We're just really annoyed... Mamura is the Manga is so hot and dashing...my dream guy! And then.. .... . ...

wooraraOct 22 2016 4:16 pm
I was really happy that they were making a live action of this manga~ BUT I WAS EXPECTING AND HOPING FROM THE VERY BEGINNING THAT MAMURA SHOULD BE PLAYED BY KENTARO SAKAGUCHI. CUZ HE IS AFTER ALL THE AUTHOR'S INSPIRATION FOR MAMURA~~ But I remembered Mei Nagano and Kentaro Sakaguchi were co-stars in my love story...they didn't end up there huhu it would've been nice if they were paired here...lol

shizumeOct 22 2016 8:17 am
I might not hate Daiki if Sakaguchi Kentaro had chosen as Daiki Mamura :( It's just because Sakaguchi Kentaro is really handsome (i'm melting) and so great to play as the second-lead character.

But, I will still ship Suzume-Shishio tho. I think I'll cry if Shizume is not happening in the movie. #TeamShizume

(I HAVE A LITTLE BIT HOPE THAT SUZUME WILL PICK SHISHIO)

JulieOct 21 2016 9:25 am
Two members from GENERATIONS are going to be in movies next year! Nice job Alan and Ryota! I mean I'm disappointed that it wasn't Sakaguchi Kentaro but I'm sure Alan will do a great job. Best of luck to them!!

SitiOct 18 2016 1:14 pm
@raven Thank you, I get your point. While I strongly agree that people have their own preferences, I do however find it pathetic to see these many people whining eventhough there's no trailer/teaser yet. Isn't that too unfair for Aran Shirahama? Almost everyone whines so I don't see a point telling them not to grow up.

fukaOct 18 2016 4:32 am
As far, the best shoujo live actions for me are just Heroine Shikkaku and Chihayafuru (because they cast talented actor with great story). I'm a little bit afraid watching shoujo live action adaption of my fav manga because somehow the story or the cast didn't suit the character of the manga. It makes me disappointed.

Maybe Daytime Shooting Star is better to have an anime.

Look how amazing all the characters in the manga, it really hard for me to imagine them play the live action. Everyone have preferences about the cast, the manga is still the best.

deaOct 17 2016 3:27 am
I hope Suzume ends up with Shishio Sensei in this live action version.
I kinda hate it why Shohei always get the second lead male :(

deaOct 17 2016 3:11 am
I wish Suzume ends up with Shihio Sensei in this live action version. I hate why Miura Shohei always be the second lead male :(

ravenOct 17 2016 2:58 am
@Siti actually, they have a point. People may have different preferences. but no offense to Aran Shirahama, but the character Daiki Mamura is too charismatic and good looking for him to take on. I don't know. It seems justifiable for these people to complain judging how many they are. This is my first time seeing these many people to complain and wanted somebody else to replace him. I usually see people complaining why is it him but they don't agree who should replace. Almost everyone agrees it should be Kentaro so I don't see a point telling them to grow up.

NiAHanaOct 16 2016 1:19 am
I want sakaguchi kentaro as mamura daiki. This is so sad, they crashed all my hope. I always hope there is live action for this manga with sakaguchi kentaro play as mamura daiki! Hmm..false hope. Bye, not going to watch.

GemOct 14 2016 3:17 am
Wow, Shishio's real life version in on point.
I'm on Team Sensei so I'll watch this... then stop at the point where things ended between them

synjnymsOct 13 2016 5:50 pm
You have no idea know how many fangirl hearts broke because Mamura Daiki is not Sakaguchi Kentaro. This is my favorite shoujo manga and I always wanted Sakaken to be Daiki but deym. I don't feel like watching it anymore. Sakaken will forever be the only 3D Mamura Daiki for me. T^T </3

NanaOct 13 2016 7:41 am
I was hoping Kitamura Takumi for Mamura roll and Ishii Anna for Suzume.But,I'll still watch this because I love the manga

yullaineeOct 13 2016 2:23 am
Shohei and Mei fit the roles atleast but no one can portray Mamura Daiki's role except for Kentaro Sakaguchi </3 We've just experienced heartbreak after seeing the cast... Why T.T

anneOct 13 2016 12:16 am
Well...this is a letdown, in terms of visuals alone. Only Mei Nagano seems in sync with the character..ita bit early to say now with few info but I've somehow lost interest in how the acting will turn out either because of the casting choice :/ Orrrr... partly because I was so fixated on having Kentaro play Mamura at the very least..(cries)

tysophOct 13 2016 12:11 am
I think Sakaguchi is the best and the perfect actor for portraying Mamura. For live action, I hope Suzume ended up being with Shishio

ChristineOct 12 2016 7:51 pm
I thought Mamura Daiki will be played by Sakaguchi Kentaro. Damn the movie still isn't released but I'm already disappointed.

MiyuuOct 12 2016 7:17 pm
I was expecting Sakaguchi Kentaro to pick up the role of Mamura :((( I'll still watch it but I'm just disappointed rn. Hope this guy can portray Mamura's character the way I visualized Kentaro would :(
